Gmail msgs being automatically deleted

Since I purchased my iPhone last, emails in my Gmail inbox have been being automatically deleted. I can't find a setting anywhere that controls this. The messages don't appear in my trash folder either, either when accessed through my Mac or iPhone. This is a serious problem for me. Any help much appreciated.

Hello, JLC47.
Try the steps in the article below to see if the issue ceases. After the change is made, only new mail will stay on both devices. See the first section labeled Mac OS X Mail.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

SMS being automatically deleted!

All sms text messages are being automatically deleted from my Pearl within minutes of reading received messages and sent messages, how can I stop this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This if for the ones of you that are having the SMS deleting on their own.
Select Menu\Options\Satus and look at your FILE FREE and if it is below 4,000,000 bytes you need to get rid of some pictures or calls logs and turn the device off and back on and check the file free again and if it is above 4,000,000 bytes your good to go and if NOT get a Micro SD memory card no larger that 2GB and save your music/ringtones/and pictures to it

Outlook 2010 hotmail calendar's reminders are being automaticly deleted

Probably after an automatic windows update session, on my laptop, my Outlook 2010’s Hotmail Calendar (connected to my mobile via MAPI) started to delete “only”
the reminder set for an event. Strangely same reminder stands active as you check the same event both the outlook.com and my mobile.
As it is being auto deleted (!) over my laptop’s Outlook it doesn’t pop the reminding sound nor show up on the reminders window as its time comes.
System: 64 bit Windows 7

Hi Murray,
Thanks for your update.
I found a related thread for your reference:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/saving-reminders-in-outlook/07c29e0b-0fb9-4a32-9dfc-d784aedff342
Please also try to run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
Please also try to run some Outlook Switch to refresh the calender reminder caches, then try to create the reminder again. Switch commands as below:
/cleanreminders
/cleanroamedprefs
/cleansniff
Since this issue doesn't relate to Exchange server, and sorry for the lack of knowledge on Outlook in depth. I also suggest asking Outlook Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

My contacts keep being automatically deleted from my iPhone5. How do I stop this from happening?

yesterday i noticed my contacts were deleted after i took a phone call. i tried to manually re-add but they keep getting automatically deleted after a couple minutes. i restarted, resetted the device to no avail. i even restored from icloud and within an hour most of my contacts were deleted again. please help. i am beginning to get very frustrated.

On your iOS devices, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Sync (in the Calendars section) and set this to All Events.
Not sure about your Mac. Try going to icloud.com, opening your calendar, clicking on the gear icon on the lower left and choose preferences, then on the Advanced tab make sure you haven't checked Hide Events next to Old Events.

Inbox messages 30 days & older being automatically deleted

Mail is automatically deleting messages from my Inbox automatically when they reach an age of about 30 days, any ideas? I've got a workaround in place right now, rule that forwards messages to a yahoo account once they reach 27 days, but I'd like to be able to just leave them on my machine for those times I need to reference an email and the internet isn't available.
AFAIK there is NOT an option/preference for automatically deleting Inbox messages, that was my first thought but when I dug around I couldn't find it anywhere. Am I missing something obvious?
If the solution is to backup my messages, trash mail, and reinstall thats fine but I'd like some pointers on how to do so. I've never backed up Mail emails so any tips would help
Thanks!
Mail 2.0.7, OS X 10.4.5, 17" 1.5Ghz Powerbook

Hi,
would be interesting to trace this thread because I have a similar (if not the same) problem.
I used to use IMAP as account type for my main email account but I noticed, too, spontaneously disappearing mails.
I checked directly on the mail server and they are still there. But in Mail (version 2.0.7 (746.2/746.3) from OS X 10.4.5) I couldn't find these mails anywhere. Not in the Inbox, nor in Spam, Trash or any other local or remote folder. And there is no rule that would have affected these mails.
Meanwhile I switched to using POP3 with that email account and got the missing messages back (visible in Mail's Inbox). But I'd really like to find and solve the problem and use IMAP again.
As far as the 30 days are concerned the original poster mentioned I can't confirm this. Sometimes I think yes, there's a certain amount of time after which the mails disappear but then again it seems to be different all the time. Sometime a mail disappeared after just one day (it's still on the mail server) in Mail and sometimes mails disappeared after app. two months.
Is there any known issue? I have a lot of rules for mailing lists that just move mails into a folder -- but the missing mails can't be found in this folder, neither.
What would be necessary to reinstall Mail from scratch? Will I loose all my mails then?
Thanks in advance & greetings from Germany,
Stefan.

Why aren't my emails being automatically deleted from my ipad when I delete them from my iPhone

Is there a setting that I have to program on my mini ipad so when I delete an email on my iPhone it automatically deletes it from my mini ipad?

If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox.

How do I protect a Time Machine back up from being automatically deleted during new backups?

Hi, any help would be appreciated.
I used an external hard drive Time Machine backup to restore my music and photos after losing nearly everything during an update. I followed the instruction from Apple Support and turned on TM so I could enter and recover the needed libraries. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that TM would continuously backup for the next 7 hours as I searched for duplicate music files, merged iPhoto libraries, etc...until I received the message that TM had deleted all my backups (all the way back to 2010).
Just to head off the "how could you not know?!" comments - I had previously left TM off and just selected backup now when I attached the external drive.
The good news is that the backup I used to restore my music and iPhoto library from May still appears to be intact, so how do I make sure it doesn't get deleted the next time I back up? My concern is, once I've removed all the duplicate music and photo files I would like to back up again prior to upgrading to Yosemite - just in case I experience the same issues with losing files again I'd like to be prepared.
My external hard drive is an Iomega with 83.1 GB free of 320 GB.
I'm on a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro / 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 / 43.76 GB free of 159.18 GB
OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it's written for someone who is not very technologically advanced (read: step-by-step instructions) that would be even better! Thanks in advance!

You need to get a bigger external drive, 2 to 4 times the amount of data you are backing up. I would also recommend a minimum of 2 backups. You can do that with 2 Time Machine drives or use a clone to give you a bootable backup.

Is anyone else having trouble with reminders being automatically deleted/changed in ios7?

Since upgrading to ios7, I've noticed the reminders app decides randomly to delete certain entries, duplicate entries and even change alert times - which is really quite disconcerting if you rely on this app as I do (or did in ios6 anyway......)
Anyone noticed anything similar or is it just lucky old me and my seemingly intelligent and becoming wholly independent of me, iPhone?!

Ok I have a fix for that....
I just figured this problem out for myself with a friend]

CLOSE SAFARI
go to MY COMPUTER
C:
Documents and Settings
Your name
Application Data
Apple Computer
Safari Folder
Delete BOOKMARKS.PLIST
( Now I have to warn you this WILL DELETE your bookmarks from Safari so back them up before you do this )
NOW........
go back and IMPORT your bookmarks
take all your bookmarks from the "IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX " folder and drop them into the BOOKMARKS MENU at the top ( not the folder just your bookmarks)
NOW DO NOT DELETE the Imported on xx/xx/xxxx folder
for some reason when you delete the IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX folder.... It causes them to go missing under BOOKMARKS MENU
SO as long as you dont delete the IMPORTED ON xx/xx/xxxx folder they will stay in the BOOKMARKS MENU where you can manipulate them
ALSO... DO NOT DELETE the IMPORTED FROM INTERNET EXPLORER
or IMPORTED FROM NETSCAPE/ MOZILLA FOLDERS
that will also cause your bookmarks menu bookmarks to go missing too
I guess this is a temp. fix for now
Thanks,
Christopher

Why are photos being automatically deleted from my photo stream?

I have three iDevices that use the same Apple ID: an iPad 2 running iOS 7, an iPad 4 running iOS 6, and an iPod Touch running iOS 6.
Up until a few weeks ago, they all lived happily together. Whenever I saved a photo on any one of these devices, the photo would show up in the photo stream for all three devices.
However, recently the iPad 2 has been mysteriously showing less and less items in the photo stream. More and more photos disappear from the photo stream every day (only on this iPad; the other iPad and the iPod have all the same photos in the stream.) The iPad 2 now has only 100 photos while the iPad 4 and iPod have 800+ in the stream.
Why am I losing photos from the stream in the iPad 2, and why aren't the other devices behaving the same way? I'm not deleting anything (at least, I'm not deleting the images that are mysteriously absent from the iPad 2), and there are no device storage space issues (plenty of space on each device).
The iPad 2 seems to keep only about a week or two's worth of photos in the stream. Does this have something to do with the versions of iOS that the devices are running? I don't understand why this behavior would have suddenly changed within the last couple weeks, though, since the iPad 2 has been running iOS7 for quite some time. It just seems to be arbitrarily happening now.
How can I make my iPad stop removing photos from its version of the stream? I'm an artist and use all my devices in back and forth fashion, so I need to them to all have the same photo stream content.

My Photo is not a permanent storage space.
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

My emails are being automatically deleted in my inbox.

I have a comcast email account, and lately when I go to look at my inbox, all my old emails in the inbox have been deleted. Comcast says to contact you.

Firefox does not have any software that will filter the emails in your inbox. you should just check your email settings and disable the deletion of emails after a period of time. Don`t know how the comcast panel is but check your settings and you will surely find the solution there.

History being automatically deleted

I've had this macbook for a while and all of the sudden safari's history keeps getting deleted after a shutdown or logout without me doing anything. How do i fix this so my history remains after a shutdown??

A number of things you could try:
Download a fresh copy of Safari and install it, then repair permisions:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I am unable to bookmark the same website in two different bookmark folders without one being automatically deleted by Firefox?

I am a recent convert to Firefox. Regarding bookmarks: it seems that you cannot create a new bookmark the same website in two or more different bookmark folders. For example, if I bookmark a website in a bookmark folder called 'ABC' and then bookmark the same website in a different bookmark folder called XYZ, the bookmark will be in XYZ, but will be removed from ABC. This happens even when I assign a different name for the bookmark in ABC and XYZ.
Is this the correct bookmark functionality or am I not doing something correctly? Thanks.

You can do a Copy & Paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Shift+Ctrl+B) to create a copy of a bookmark.
You can also drag the (fav)icon on the left end of the location bar to a folder in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or to a folder in the side bar (Ctrl+B) or to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
In the side bar you need to click to the left of the icon to prevent Firefox from opening the bookmark.
